Marketting Floor Plan with Shadows

[Anonymous]

Good evening. I am in a bit of a bind. I have been seconded onto a multi Unit development and have been asked for colour floor plans which can bee used for marketting. the problem is, the they want the material (carpet/ floor boards) to render realistically with shadows. I have loaded the materials into Archicad 16 and they render quite well. I put in a camera directly overhead, but they do not like the perspective look of the output. I changed the settings of the 3D window, but again they do not like the outcome. They want a straight floor plan, with furniture, rendered realistically with shadows.
Can we do this in Archicad or do I need to export to Autodesk products to do it?

You don't need to have a perspective view in 3D.
You could use an Axonometric top down view and that will look just like your floor plan.

Thank you Barry. It is simple when one knows how.
